Question

PLEASE HELP: A standard six-sided die is rolled.

What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 4? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to four decimal
places.

Answer 1

Answer in fraction form is 1/3

Answer in decimal form is 0.3333

Pick one answer only.

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. In this case, the outcomes consist of values between 1 and 6

S = sample space

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}

There are 6 items here. Let B = 6.

We want to roll a number greater than 4, so the event space we're after is

E = {5,6}

which consists of 2 items. Let A = 2.

The probability we want is A/B = 2/6 = 1/3 = 0.3333

So if you go with the fraction option, then you'll type in 1/3

If you go with the decimal option, then you'll type in 0.3333
